The girl who lost her mother when she ran away, after half a decade reunited with her family, heard the sad news

The moment of separation was followed by a series of tragedies that the insiders couldn't hold back tears when thinking back.

In 1975, Mr. Tuong rode a bicycle, while Mrs. Nguyet brought her daughter to walk. But before peace came, he lost his daughter on the run.

The time of March 1975 in Ba Ngoi, Cam Ranh was extremely chaotic, the bombs destroyed roads and bridges continuously dropped. Tra Long Bridge was also collapsed, named broken bridge.

In the chaos, Ms. Nguyet could not cross the broken bridge. Meeting a man riding a Honda 67, offering to carry Russian baby across the river for her, she put him in the car and swam after. Swim across to the other side of the river, the child was nowhere to be seen, the other man also disappeared...

Mr. Tuong crossed the broken bridge, not knowing that his daughter had just gotten lost there. Only when he got home in Phan Rang and met his wife, who had just hitched a ride home, did he learn that Nguyet had lost her daughter.

Grandparents impatiently went to find it, waited until the revolutionary government took over, then reported it and asked to go to Nha Trang to find their children. Mr. Tuong emotional recalled: "More than a dozen days later, I searched, asked here and there if anyone had adopted a child, and then as time passed, I thought my child was dead. I remember the girl with wavy hair and fat. , low and low. I asked thousands and hundreds of people but no one saw…”.

Currently, Mr. Tuong lives in Bao An ward, Phan Rang Thap Cham city, Ninh Thuan, 50km from where he lost his son.

Since the day she lost her first child, Ms. Nguyet has never been able to get up. She couldn't help but miss Nga, even though she was comforted when she gave birth to her second child. She sadly fell ill, died in 1997, at the age of 47.

Tuong's later life had many more misfortunes. His son followed his friends with drug addiction, he asked his wife's parents to sell his house and bring him back to Phan Rang to save him. But he could not keep his strength, his family died, his children did not give up, later died in rehab.

In 2000, Mr. Tuong was empty-handed, lonely, living in people's abandoned houses, selling lottery tickets for his own living. He was content with a poor life, trying to live to look forward to seeing his children. Many upheavals happened in 46 years of separation, but he always accepted his fate. He wrote a letter to the program As never had a separation, hoping to find his gut.

As for Nga, the young girl who lost her mother was fortunate to be adopted by the Luu family. Remember that day, Sister Thien, one of the children of Liu Di's family, walked across the bridge to her aunt's house for shelter.

She met a friend who was also there, taking a lost child with her. That baby was Bui Thi Nga, 6 years old at that time. "She's so cute, she's cute when she looks at them. It's likely that her family is well off because Nga was wearing a dress at that time. Her hair was cut in a bum style, but she had a lot of hair.

When I asked, you said you picked up Nga at Ba Ngoi market, right at Phan Rang bus station. It said that Nga stood alone by the roadside, crying like she was looking for her parents. Nearby was a Jeep with a soldier killed by a bomb. There are lots of bombs around. He felt sorry, so he took Russia with him.

We don't know where she comes from, if she's from Ba Ngoi, we know right away. I stayed at my aunt's house for a few days to hide from bombs and then bring Russia home to raise. My family can afford to feed, without thinking about anything."

That year, Mr. Luu Dich and Mrs. Bui Thi Bay were in their 60s, adopted only out of love for the lost child and for the child's parents whom the grandparents did not know. Little Nga calls Mr. Dich and Mrs. Bay as her grandmother, and calls her children as brothers and sisters.

According to Thien's memory, baby Nga at that time remembered her name, saying that her father, Tuong, wore camouflage uniforms, his mother, Nguyet, had curly hair, painted her nails, and had flashing lights. Nga also remembers being transported by Honda 67 over the broken bridge, but thinks that her father drove her in that car. The 6-year-old girl that year kept wondering, not understanding why her father left her at the bridgehead and then left.

At the age of 21, she got married, and her parents-in-law loved her very much. She also loves them, because since she lost her home, it was only then that she could call out to her father and mother. Unfortunately, her husband also left her too soon. In Nga's heart are unresolved sorrows, from the day she lost her mother's hand in the middle of the road.

For the past 46 years, Ms. Nga has never left the place where she fell. In mid-2021, after matching information, knowing that Ms. Nga was Mr. Tuong's child, the program "Like never had a separation" brought them back together. Looking at a photo of a 6-year-old Russian girl taken with Dich's family, the 82-year-old father burst into tears.

Crying because his baby Nga is still around that Tra Long bridge, crying because 46 years of unjust separation, people pointed him in the wrong place. Crying because half a life has passed.

At that time, both Nha Trang and Ninh Thuan applied social distancing, they could only reunite through the screen. It was not until the end of 2021 that the three of them really met in real life. Nga burst into her father's arms, sobbing.

After Mrs. Nguyet and Mr. Do died, Mr. Tuong and his wife's family no longer had any contact with each other. Over 20 years, on the occasion of finding Ms. Nga, they resumed their conversation. My uncle Tu, happy and sad, made a video call with his grandson, chatting about the days apart.

Mr. Tu said, until his death, his sister was still gloomy and sad because she lost her child. Little did they know, the family's stray nipples remained in Nha Trang for so many years while they watched over their sister's pain, wanting to find her grandchild so she could rest in peace.
